I also found this ad:

This bird is not listed in WD #4 by either of these numbers and I can't find this one on any of the survivor lists. Any idea where it has been since 1953 when it was listed as sold by the RAAF?

TIA

Odd, wasn't that the project at courtesy last year?

Even stranger is the price(s)... in the barnstormers add it's $825,000

at the other link you posted its $800,000




and at warbirdrelics its $525,000

The pictures are all from the same place.

Would the FAA let one register this bird without splainin where it has been for the last 40+ years? Or does that explain the "low" price?
